First Peoples, the PBS original series, traces humanity’s journey through the first homo-sapiens in their quest to populate the world. The series explores how humanity has populated almost the entire globe over the course of 200,000 years. Using the human genome, a gene map of all of humanity, scientists and historians are able to more […]
A research team drawn from Poland’s Nencki Institute and Spain’s Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante (INA) recently found that gene expression can be affected by the distribution of space between units of genetic material, packaged as special fibers. This discovery, which came out of their tests using laboratory mice, could potentially bring the medical community […]
A research team led by scientists from the United States, Canada, Germany and the Czech Republic has sequenced the genome of bread wheat. The investigation started in 2011 and took almost three years to be accomplished due to the long sequence of around 100,000 genes. In comparison with the human genetic code of 20,000 units, […]
